These pleated balloons have separate headers, with lip cord in between and a loopy braid run horizontally across the center of the header.
This is a silk plaid which was railroaded in order to get the header out of the most appropriate section of the plaid.
It's interlined, and as you can see trimmed at bottom with a tassel fringe.
Though they will be used as stationary valances, we have strung them with a cord lock so the length can be adjusted on-site.
I don't see all of the treatments we make here in the homes for which they were created, because, as in this case, a lot of designers pick them up and arrange and supervise the installation.
I dressed these for the photo but dressing is NOT my strongest point!
If anybody wonders if blue is back, take a look at the trims I have sitting in my workroom for current jobs. There was one more that I forgot to include.
The side hems on these shades were sewn by hand. I took the opportunity to practice hand blind-hemming, although there was no need to use that technique here. Once you get the hang of it, it goes almost as quickly as a slip stitch, but it does take practice.
